Pandemic has turned me into a zombie

I (late 20's) moved into a new city as the pandemic was kicking off and I spent most of last year living alone, on furlough and not talking to people for weeks on end. I had an argument with my closest friend which triggered some sort of massive panic attack/breakdown which lasted for days and I barely slept or ate. I lost my job, moved back in with parents, started to rebuild mentally again. I now have a new job (WFH), I've started a 6 week online counselling course (I've had CBT before so not finding it that useful as its mostly covering basic CBT topics) but I still don't feel myself at all. I feel like a zombie walking around like I'm outside of myself all the time. I have absolutely nothing to look forward to and I can't remember the last time I genuinely felt happy. AIBU?

It’s been a shitty time so I don’t think you are being unreasonable. Well done for getting your new job. Is it permanently WFH or are they planning on getting you into an office soon? WFH has its benefits but it can be very isolating. Do you work as part of a team?

Sounds like you’re doing your best to get back on your feet. Hope the counselling helps. Is there anything you can plan so you’ve got something to look forward to? Start small and work up. What king of things do you normally enjoy doing?
